Umair Haque, International Business Advisor at Dezan Shira & Associates, India, was invited as a distinguished panellist and moderator at the International Supply Chain and Logistics Summit 2025, organized by Excovents. The summit held on September 17, 2025, brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and technology experts to discuss how businesses can strengthen supply chains in a world marked by shifting trade routes and growing geopolitical uncertainty.
Centered on the theme “Reimagining Global Supply Chain Innovation and Sustainability,” the summit examined how businesses are reconfiguring their operations amid geopolitical uncertainties and digital transformation.
Umair chaired two high-level discussions “Smart Supply Chains: Embracing Digitalization & Automation” and “Geopolitical Risk: A Growing Threat to Supply Chain Resilience“-featuring senior executives from leading logistics and technology firms. The sessions focused on strategies for enhancing business resilience and future readiness through operational agility, data-driven insights, and accelerated digital transformation.
Drawing on Dezan Shira & Associates’ extensive on-the-ground advisory experience across India and Asia, Umair shared actionable insights for global companies optimizing supply chain operations in India. He highlighted the importance of aligning profitability with sustainability, integrating AI and automation, and leveraging India’s policy incentives to strengthen operational competitiveness.
“India today offers one of the most promising supply chain ecosystems globally, not just as an alternative manufacturing hub, but as a strategic base for innovation, technology adoption, and long-term scalability,” noted Umair. “At Dezan Shira & Associates, we see increasing investor interest in India’s logistics and manufacturing sectors as companies realign operations for resilience and sustainability.”
